OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to determine the differences in outcomes of surgical
aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in low-…

… To minimize the influence of other confounders on outcome, we used a propensity score
analysis [14, 15] to match high-risk patients with lower risk counterparts. The following variables …

lower achieved LDL-C were at lower risk for MACE for reasons in addition to their achieved …
